They are able to do so within the designated Protected Zone because of an agreement between Australia and P.N.G. that tries to preserve age-old practices such as hunting, fishing, trading and ceremonies. ACV Commanding Officer Mark Fitzsimmons, a genial and thoughtful man with a reassuring smile, has been with Customs since 1980.
